The operation Will be readily understood. rlhe base is securely fixed to the stove by means of rivets or bolts passing through the lugs and'through the rear top edge of the stove. The casing is then placed on said base with its lower edges resting Within the upright walls 2, and with the opening in the top connected with an ordinary stove-pipe. The products of combustion, after performing their Work in the stove, Will escape into the casing, being retarded in their [10W by the heat-retarder and willheat the casing and Vessel placed thereon and finally escape through the stove-pipe.

The invention is designed, principally; for heating water which is contained in vessels or receptacles placed upon the top of the casing. It is obvious, however, that it may be used t'or various other useful purposes.

The casing being detachable from the base, it can be readily removed for the purpose of cleaning or repairing, and the Whole structure can be readily detached from the stove.

In most heating-drums as ordinarily constructed the stove-pipe itself passes through the casing, so that the latter is heated bythe heat radiated from the pipe. This is a very incil'ective manner of heating the drum, as most of thc heat and products of combustion are wasted as they pass through the pipe without parting with their caloric. By my invention, however, the drum is heated directly by the products of combustion from the stove, whereby a great saving is effected'by a more thorough utilization of the Waste heat.

Having thus described my inventiomwhat I claim is- -A detachable heating-drinn for stoves, consisting of a suitable base having an upright surrounding Wall to form a heat-chamber and an inner projecting iange at the upper edge of said Wall for supporting a vessel or reservoir, the said chamber having an opening t-o communicate with the flue-opening of a stove and a similar opening for receiving a stove l pipe and having in its bottom a detlector for causing the products of combustion from the stove to be spread throughout the chamber, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
